Student: “I heard the school teacher say that we don't need to memorize things for economics. Is that true?” With only one month left until the exam, many students are still debating whether or not to memorize things, and if so, what to memorize. Is it true that you don't need to memorize things, as the school teacher says?
I suggest you still memorize things, and you need to memorize a lot. Why?
The new exam syllabus has tighter time constraints for answers. Compared to the previous exam, the capacity of 8-mark essays has increased by 50%-100%, with additional evaluation requirements for two data questions. The requirements for 12-mark essays have become stricter. The previous exam preparation methods are completely ineffective because you only have 40 minutes to complete an 8+12 essay, with 15 minutes for the 8-mark essay and 25 minutes for the 12-mark essay. There isn't enough time for you to think about wording or sentence structure, and if you hesitate with expression during the exam, it's basically too late unless you're exceptionally good at English. In the past, the exam consisted of one data question and choosing one out of three 8+12 questions to complete in 90 minutes; now it consists of one data question plus choosing two out of four 8+12 questions to complete in 120 minutes. With time constraints, increased workload, and higher question difficulty, it's crucial to save time on wording and sentence structure!
If you need to memorize, what should you memorize?
Definitions, logic chains of reasoning, diagrams and their explanations, and evaluations. If you memorize these first three, your score can at least reach an A, and the rest can help you aim for higher scores. Then where can you find these things? The fastest way is to memorize the sample essays written by the teacher.
